New Wordpress Plugin Provides Anti-Spam Protection Against Email Address Harvesting
Submitted by chip on Sun, 14-Mar-2010 - 10:17 am
I've just released a Wordpress plugin to protect email addresses that appear in the body of posts against harvesting by spam 'bots.
The plugin is called wp-spamspan. It works by automatically rewriting an email address that spam 'bots encounter into a form like:
chip [at] unicom [dot] com
But for people, the email address appears as a clickable link.
The home page for the plugin is here: http://www.unicom.com/sw/wp-spamspan
Mar 18 update: Today, I received approval to add this plugin to the official Wordpress directory. Watch for it there (real soon now...).
